AREAS OF EXPERTISE: I- Corporate speechwriting; 2- Corporate apologetics (i.e., developing responses to attacks on a given company or industry); 3- political economy; 4- domestic and international politics; 5- foreign languages (I am fluent in French, German, Italian, Portuguese and Spanish; and I possess a reading knowledge in Polish, Dutch, Russian and modern Greek); 6- press relations; and 7- relations with the intellectual community. CONCLUSION: I am particularly concerned with the business community's failure to properly confront and master the articulate, new anti-business force which Irving Kristol has dubbed the New Class. All too often, business leaders have responded to the sallies of these anti-business critics with the same tired rhetoric which the late George Babbitt used to inflict upon the citizens of Zenith in the 1920s. Such rhetoric will simply not do in the 1970s--in the decade that has produced Ralph Nader. The business community must develop a new approach to corporate apologetics and public affairs. It must learn to avail itself of ideas that will help to bolster the cause of economic freedom; it must attune itself to developments in the academy that can be placed in the service of business; and it must employ the services of in- dividuals who--because of their intellectual training--understand the ethos of the so-called New Class intellectuals. My own background--whic~ has been in the academy, journalism, politics, and the private sector--is, I believe, properly in accord with the political and intellectual impulses that must be employed if the private sector is to triumph over its critics in the next decade.
